SecureFox is the first consumer VPN to ship NIST-standardized post-quantum cryptography (ML-KEM-768, FIPS 203) alongside an advanced anti-censorship transport. We build our own Go networking core in-house β€” we do not repackage a generic, off-the-shelf VPN stack. WHAT MAKES SECUREFOX DIFFERENT β€’ Post-quantum key exchange. Hybrid X25519 + ML-KEM-768 (FIPS 203, NIST-standardized) keeps your sessions safe even against a future quantum attacker. Toggle in Settings β†’ Tunnel. β€’ Stealth anti-censorship transport. A TLS-1.3-mimicking obfuscation layer that makes the tunnel look like ordinary HTTPS, so it keeps working on restrictive networks where standard VPN protocols are blocked. β€’ Custom networking framework. We compile our own gomobile binding around our Go core + lwIP TCP/IP stack β€” not a third-party SDK, not a template. β€’ WireGuard option. A second protocol option for the rawest speed when stealth isn't needed. Switch in Settings β†’ Tunnel β†’ Protocol. A SERVER NETWORK THAT MATTERS β€’ Locations across Asia, Europe, and the Americas, with live device-to-server ping next to each city. β€’ Recommended-server scoring weights ping AND current load β€” a fast-but-saturated node never beats a slightly slower one with capacity to spare. β€’ Auto-reconnect after sleep, network change, or OS pause. PRIVACY-FIRST DESIGN β€’ No-logs policy. We do not record browsing history, DNS queries, or IP addresses. β€’ Genuine kill switch β€” if the tunnel drops, iOS blocks all traffic until it returns. Your real IP never leaks. β€’ Passwordless sign-in by email link. Sign in with Apple supported. We never ask for your phone number. β€’ All app data lives in Secure Enclave-backed keychain. β€’ Payments handled exclusively by Apple β€” we never see your card. SUBSCRIPTIONS β€’ FREE β€” unlimited use of our entry-tier locations, no time limit, no ads. β€’ PRO β€” every server location, more concurrent devices, priority routing. β€’ PREMIUM β€” everything in PRO plus streaming-optimized exit nodes and dedicated capacity. Auto-renewing subscriptions are billed through your Apple ID. Cancel anytime in Settings β†’ Apple ID β†’ Subscriptions; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current period.
